Today the talented young ladies of the Episcopal High School soccer team joyfully packed up 100 totes of joy for adult cancer patients in Baton Rouge. These totes included something special - beautiful handwritten cards created by the students of both St. James Episcopal Day School and cancer survivor Stacey Smith’s first grade class from EHS!

Stacey reached out to us in May of this year because she received a tote from us while battling her own cancer diagnosis. And in an incredible full circle moment, today Stacey attended the pack at EHS and helped pay it forward by packing totes for cancer patients in our community. Incredible! Thank you, Stacey, for coming to the pack today, and thank you to your students for making such precious cards for the patients!

Once we packed up the totes, Father Patrick lead us in a beautiful prayer. We prayed for the patients who will receive the totes, hoping they feel extra love and joy - and we prayed that these totes help give the patients the extra encouragement they may need to push through this tough time!

Tomorrow we will deliver these totes to Baton Rouge General and Mary Bird Perkins in BR.

Special thanks to Coach Lynn, Coach Caleb, Amy Teague, Stacey Smith, the students at St. James Episcopal Day School, Mrs. Smith’s EHS first graders, and the EHS girls soccer team!
